Today Gracyn learned to position herself properly at the piano by sitting on the front half of the bench, an arm's length from the fall board. We also went over correct hand position, with wrists up and fingers curved (as if gently holding a bubble.) We then discussed, played and identified high and low tones. Our next topic was black keys, and Gracyn played and correctly identified all of the two and three black-key groups. Next we went over finger numbers. We ended our session by playing through the first song in the lesson book. During the course of today's lesson, we performed activities and completed workbook pages reinforcing the concepts discussed. Gracyn demonstrated an excellent grasp of the material covered.
